The Complete Film Production Handbook is a comprehensive step-by-step guide covering the essentials of the business, from checklists and sample pre-production and post production schedules to contracts and company policies relating to insurance, talent management, and even customs and immigration details.

Basic accounting procedures
Production team members and their responsibilities

    This book is amazing in that it covers all of the bases when it comes to understanding the paperwork and production side of creating a feature film.
    The only down-side being that this is a U.S. book, and therefore is written with American terminology, and has references to American Film Guilds (DGA etc).

    That said; this book is vital for your collection if you are serious about becoming a Producer, or just want to be in the know of what happens.

    This is a very useful book for media classes. I bought it a long time ago when I was teaching IT and suddenly was given a class studying Media.

    This book is quiet simply a must have for anyone either dipping their toe into, or already swimming in the deep end, of the film business…
    Filled with as many forms as you may ever need and an EXTREMELY thorough guide on how to fill them all out, what they all mean, and hundreds of other useful tips to get your film made. Cd includes copies of all the forms however although not fully editable in the format they are provided in there are ways around that to make them completely editable. Written by someone who has worked on productions as big as Titanic and who also teaches, Eve certainly knows what she is talking about. Although not the most humourous of books ie. its not filled with interesting interviews and funny learning experiences this really is an absolute MUST HAVE and worth every penny for anyone who whats to learn about producing. Experienced or amateur, this book is a valuable asset to all.
